FIRESTONE BRAND FARM
TIRES WITH AD2 TECHNOLOGY:
TM
DESIGNED, ENGINEERED AND BUILT
FOR TODAY’S AGRICULTURE.
Firestone brand farm tires with Advanced Deflection
Design (AD2) technology represent the “next
generation” in performance and productivity – tires
specifically designed for today’s farming needs.
These advanced tires are engineered to carry the
same load at a lower pressure – or as much as
20% (IF) or 40% (VF) more load at the same
pressure – as our equivalent-sized standard
radial tires.
AD2 technology helps you get more work done in
less time and with less soil compaction.*
*Compared to standard equivalent-sized Firestone brand radial tires.
MORE LOAD, BIGGER FOOTPRINT,
ADDED PERFORMANCE.
AD2 technology is part of a new class of farm tires
that can help improve the productivity of today’s
heavier equipment.
•
IF- and VF-designated tires can carry more
load (up to 20% and 40% respectively) at the
same pressure.*
•
Reduced soil compaction – increased deflection
may result in a larger footprint.
•
Improved traction – AD2 technology means less
time in the field and reduced fuel consumption.*
•
Improved ride – a benefit of increased
sidewall deflection.
•
20% deeper R-1W tread bars for longer wear and
added performance in wet soils.

TEKSCAN FOOTPRINT COMPARISON
ADDED PERFORMANCE,
MORE PRODUCTIVITY.
Firestone brand tires with AD2 technology are
available for specific agricultural applications.
And while each is designed with unique advantages,
all of them feature the ability to carry the same
load at a lower pressure, or carry more load at the
same pressure – compared to our equivalent-sized
radial tires.
TRACTORS
Firestone brand tractor tires with AD2 technology are
specifically engineered for today’s high-horsepower
equipment – delivering more traction, a better ride
and reduced compaction. Deep R-1W tread bars
that feature longer wear and added traction in wet
soils are available in optional tread designs.
SPRAYERS
Firestone brand sprayer tires with AD2 technology
may help solve many of the load and compaction
problems associated with today’s larger spraying
equipment. Wider tread bars in a specially
designed tread pattern may offer smoother
“roading” and reduced soil compaction. Rated for
40 mph, too. These tires are available in IF and
VF designations.

IF RADIAL
IF480/80R50 Radial Deep Tread 23˚
9650 lbs. @ 23 psi
Firestone brand tires with AD2 technology can carry more load at a
lower pressure than standard equivalent-sized radial tires.
Lower pressure gives these tires a larger footprint and helps reduce
soil compaction.
IMPLEMENTS
Destination Farm radial implement tires with AD2
technology are available in both IF and VF
designations. These tires may significantly reduce
the soil compaction associated with equivalentsized bias- and radial-ply truck tires commonly
used to carry heavy implements.
HARVEST
Cyclical Field Operation (CFO) harvest tires are
specifically built for the exceptional demands of
combines and grain carts. Along with the load
advantage AD2 technology offers, these tires are
engineered for the significant load fluctuations
unique to harvest equipment.
